John However, as I have just mentioned to Ed Gould, it's only a "VTAM message 10" these days because VTAM developers were prepared to allow the IP side of Communications Server to use their macros for the purposes of providing a table for the TN3270 server to behave like VTAM does when analysing a 3270 display user's attempts to enter the information necessary to prepare an SNA session initiation request and to return suitable messages when he or she made a mess of it, in general and the initial message 10 apart, of course.
> I use "z/OS UNIX" or "z/OS UNIX System Services" ... What about the even further compressed "zUNIX" you suggested a while ago? Perhaps Ed Gould's initiative with SHARE could have that enshrined as the approved and unambiguous abbreviation - although it did cause one of the usual suspects to lose a vital part of his anatomy when last suggested!

I use "z/OS UNIX" or "z/OS UNIX System Services" for UNIX related posts. For CommServer, I will usually say "the VTAM message 10 screen", which is what most of the VTAM related USS message seem to be related to. It is much more difficult for anybody, even n00bies, to be confused by that. Oh, I need to type more characters. But I can afford the pain. And yes, with my arthritis, it hurts to type. That's why some of my posts have misspellings and other errors. Well, that and I'm lazy. > >-- >John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
